Abstract
Isotopic studies have revealed several types of presolar material in chondritic meteorites (e.g., Ne-E, various components of O, Ti, Ca, Mg). In fact, examples of presolar material are found in all meteorites whose components have not been completely altered by secondary processing. This paper suggests that presolar dust was the primary building material for the meteorites and terrestrial planets. To make this case, the characteristics of presolar dust are discussed and the material in the sun's parent molecular cloud is divided into eight reservoirs. Then the meteorites most likely to preserve their original constituents are identified, and it is shown that dust from several presolar material reservoirs is present in the primitive chondrites. Components that may have formed directly from presolar dust are also identified. Presolar dust and objects made from processed dust make up the vast majority of the material in primitive chondrites. Since there is no obvious reason to believe that other meteorites formed from fundamentally different material than did the primitive chondrites, it is reasonable to conclude that presolar dust, thermally processed but not evaporated and recondensed, was the parent material for the meteorites.
In the second part of the paper, various processes that could have affected the presolar dust are identified. It is then shown that: (1) the chemical and oxygen isotopic variations between meteorite classes; (2) the formation of chondrules; and (3) accretion of chondrites and parent body metamorphism are consistent with relatively simple models that use presolar dust as the starting material. These models are presented, not as detailed solutions to the problems, but to exemplify a way of looking at the solar system that may lead to significant advances in our understanding.
